Albert moved with his family from Torrance, Calif. in 1948 to Shady Cove, Oregon where his father built the first gas station in the town. He grew up on the Rogue River.

During his life he lived a short period in Florence, Ore., but spent the rest of his life in Southern Oregon in Sams Valley and Shady Cove. Albert went to college later in life, in his 60s, and earned a degree from Rogue Community College. It was a special experience for his children and grandchildren to attend his graduation.
